Why #OneSouthAsia?

Transport

Transportation connects people and markets. More efficient transport reduces shipping time and the cost of moving goods throughout South Asia.

Our work includes improving highways, inland waterways, rail border posts, and ports along key regional corridors as well as related logistics services. We want to help transform transportation corridors into broad economic corridors that bring more economic opportunities, especially to poor and underserved people.
